How is this relevant to the clients MoveMobility serves?
This funding program is an opportunity for rural and remote communities, including eligible municipal, regional and local governments, Indigenous organizations, and some non-profit organizations to apply for capital funding. Funding for the planning and design of a local transit plan is also available through a separate funding stream.
MoveMobility works with municipalities, Indigenous communities, and local governments and organizations who implement and oversee community transit systems. Through the provision of cost-effective, reliable paratransit vehicles and medical transportation vans, MoveMobility assists these organizations in providing transit solutions that are accessible for all riders.
